Today, Lake Farm is a relatively large expanse of
meadowland fringed by trees and the canal, and is situated
to the south of Hayes. Approximately 60 acres in size,
it is bounded by the Grand Union Canal, Dawley Road,
Botwell Common Road and Botwell Lane. Most of the site
comprises of open grassland of wildlife value, punctuated by
occasional small blocks of shrubs, with a larger expanse in
the south.
A trim trail runs through the site, which is recognisable
by its skylark monument. Two areas of more formal open
space are situated in the northwestern and northeastern
corners of the park. These consist of short-mown grassland
with planted trees and a children’s playground. On the
western edge of the site, adjacent to Dawley Road,
is a BMX track.
Nearby is Barra Hall Park, Norman Leddy Memorial
Gardens, Stockley Park and Golf Course, and Hayes Pool.
The nearest train station is Hayes & Harlington, and the U4
serves the area. There is a car park off Dawley Road.
Trails of Discovery, Hayes, runs through this park. There is
a Healthy Walk for Lake Farm.
